Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Decided July 17, 2003No. 02-1524PublishedCited by 121 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

BRYSON, Circuit Judge.

SRAM Corporation appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granting SunRace Roots Enterprise Co., Ltd., and Sun Victory Trading Co., Inc., (collectively “SunRace”) a declaratory judgment of noninfringement of SRAM’s patent relating to bicycle gear-shifting devices. Because we conclude that the district court erred in construing the term “shift actuator,” as used in SRAM’s patent, we reverse and remand.

I ,

SRAM owns U.S. Patent No. 4,900,291 (“the '291 patent”) and produces shift actuators known as “twist-shifters”…
